Default RE: Pacer Canopy glue warning


ORIGINAL: fireblade5437

What has that got to do with it? CARF do not glue in canopies in the Hawk plus this canopy was supported via magnets for over a week! Not the method of gluing in qestion!

All I am reporting is that the glue is not waterproof certainly not the pot of my pacer! Humidity probably is not quite the same as DEW, my Hawk when I brought this back inside looked like it had been in a rain shower, I have spent time in Singapore that's humidity! also lived in Australia and never observed DEW!

If you glued a piece of canopy to fibre glass let it dry and spray it with water after a bit of soaking the glue will turn white! That is why when white wood PVA glue was brought out onto the market it was never water proof then a while later water proof versions became available so you could use on outside construction

Simmer down there Alan, just trying to get some facts and the facts are that you are the ONLY one so far that has had this happen to them. Nothing wrong with 560!!
